UFM’s winning dynamic web map video

 

The Lienzo de Quauhquechollan received a lot of attention at the annual ESRI User Conference in San Diego, July 12–17, 2009 (14,000 attendees). ESRI is the largest GIS software developer (geographic information systems) in the world.

UFM and Geosistec (ESRI’s Guatemalan business partners) implemented a dynamic web map for the Lienzo to merge modern cartographic tools with the Mesoamerican concept of “living geography.” A swipe tool to explore UFM’s digital restoration of the Lienzo was launched on an ESRI ArcServer platform and developed with the ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight.

Attendees at the ESRI Conference voted UFM’s entry “Best Virtual Map Presentation.”

 

ESRI Conference Lightning Talks

The instructions were to "Be brief. Be brilliant. Be gone."

Ana Lucía Ortiz (UFM) and Luis Fernández (Geosistec) gave a live demonstration of the dynamic web map from the Lienzo de Quauhquechollan website during this series of five-minute talks. UFM was one of 20 presenters selected to participate in the Lightning Talks from 120 entries. This was the first year the ESRI Conference featured these talks, which were designed to be clear, brief demonstrations of inventive applications based on ESRI web and mobile technology.
